You Might Think I'm Crazy.

It's okay if you do, because I do to.

*gulp* Here comes the confession.

Are you ready?

Okay.

Am I ready?

Yes.

Are you ready, Maethar?

I think you're right. You are crazy.

Ignoring Maethar, is everybody ready?

Okay, here it goes.

Ican'twaitforschooltostart.

*gasp*! There it was. I said: "I can't wait for school to start".

I organized the three bookshelves in my room, I prepared all the bags I carry my school supplies around in, and I've sharpened all my pencils. I've scheduled, I've cleaned, and I've determined I am going to make the most of my sophomore year. I've even--here it comes!--looked at my geometry books with anticipation.

In one way, I can't believe summer is almost over. In another way, I get excited when I sense autumn in the air.

So I'm enjoying summer until it's completely gone, and then I'll enjoy fall until it's completely gone to.

I never thought I'd say this, but looking at my school books all in a row on my book shelf makes my heart skip a beat.

Okay, Maethar. You're right. I am crazy.

Almost 2 Days Left...

Oooooooohh. I am so not ready for NaNoWriMo. And you'll never guess. It starts on a Monday.

Yeah. Didn't we know that?

From 9:15 AM to 9:00 PM on Monday I am absolutely jammed. History, literature, speech, writing, logic, and archery/shooting. And I still need to do math, biology, and a couple other things.

How am I going to find the time?

I don't know.

Oh well. I have some posts scheduled for November, but you really won't be seeing much of me. I'll probably be icing my wrists in my spare time, but please feel free to comment! Actually, I would really appreciate comments. They cheer me up. =)

This is kind of a random post. Sorry I don't have any gems of ideas to share with you. My parents are celebrating their 20th anniversary (!) so my grandparents are over. We've been to Chuck E. Cheese 2 times...in 3 days. I'm getting really good at their games. =)

And that doesn't leave much time for studying. My 4th biology test...uh...I was supposed to take that today...yeah...not happening...

...zzzz...zzzz...zzz

I'm asleep. Goodnight!

One Looong Night (Adventures with Tash) And A Huge Thank You!

Yesterday I had a fever of 102.something F after our church picnic. I was really disappointed, because I needed to study badly for the TOG. Man. That sounds like 'badly' modifies 'study', but it really modifies 'needed'. Grammar freak, I know.

Dad gave me some Motrin, which lowered my temperature a lot, but in the middle of the night I had an awful dream. It was pretty long and complicated, but it involved a fire that was growing hotter (probably my rising temperature) and the Telmarine god Tash from the Chronicles of Narnia. It ended well, but Tash was super scary. I've always been afraid of him.

That dream was one of the only nightmares I have had in about three years. All of my dreams are scary, but in it I do really cool things, like fighting a battle as Pippin. And it was really vivid and realistic too. Probably brought on by my fever.

Anyway, because I was feeling super hot, I went into the bathroom to check my temperature and got a reading of 104.3 F. That is the highest temperature I can ever remember having. Maybe I had one like it when I was 3 and had the flu, but I wouldn't remember it, of course.

I decided to get some Motrin from downstairs. But wait. That meant walking down the stairwell with darkness on one side, and a dark opening on the other. Usually I'm not afraid of the dark, but with a temp of 104 F I really didn't feel like fighting Tash. Er, that is, I thought Tash would jump out at me.

I successfully navigated all the way downstairs on my fever-wobbly legs and carefully flicked the kitchen light on. Then I went to the medicine cabinet.

The 'medicine cabinet' is a term in our house that means 'jumbled mess mostly related to helping various illnesses'. I had hoped that the Motrin would be right up front, but I could immediately see that it wasn't. I started digging through the boxes of pills and children's medicine.

While taking a break, I happened to glance over into the dark living room. There, close to the floor, we're two glowing white eyes and a beak. AAAAAHHHHH! TASH!

And then I remembered that it was Galdor's playpen. Whew. However, a blanket on a chair looked a lot like a jellyfish, and that reminded me I desperately needed to find some Motrin.

This was about the time when I realized I was narrating all of this to myself like it was a blog-post, which made me feel a bit desperate. And I still couldn't find the Motrin!

Then I happened to glance down a little and saw a big bottle of ibuprofen tablets. It wasn't until the next day that I learned that ibuprofen and Motrin are two names for the same thing, but when I saw fever reducer on the side of the bottle, I was about ready to dance. =)

So I took the tablet and went up to bed. End of story, right?

Well, I was still kind of obsessing over Tash. It might have been about 3 AM when I heard a noise from downstairs. It may have been something falling, or it could have been our AC, or a bunch of things. But, of course, being the sleepy, ill, crazy person I am, I locked my door, turned on my lamp, and grabbed a metal curtain rod for protection. I must have sat in my rocking chair staring at the doorknob for fifteen minutes before I got tired and crawled into bed and finally fell asleep.

Until 5:40 AM, when Mom knocked on my door (still locked) and asked me why I still had my lamp on. Of course, I probably made no sense at all when I told her I was afraid of Tash. :)

I'm a lot better today, but I'm probably still contagious. Not delirious though, thank goodness!
